Sedum cauticola ‘Lidakense’ | Cliff Stonecrop
DESCRIPTION
Sedum cauticola 'Lidakense' is a charming, low-growing succulent known for its stunning, blue-gray foliage and vibrant late-season blooms. The round, fleshy leaves take on a pinkish tinge in cooler weather, providing year-round visual interest. In late summer to early fall, clusters of small, star-shaped pink flowers appear, offering a striking contrast to the cool-toned leaves and adding a burst of color to rock gardens, containers, or borders.
Native to Japan, 'Lidakense' is a selection of Sedum cauticola that has gained popularity for its compact form and ability to thrive in challenging, sunny locations. The plant’s ability to shift its leaf color with the seasons, combined with its late-season flowering, makes it a standout choice for gardens looking for low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants with multi-season appeal.
